This video explores the history of one of the most significant scientific frauds of the 20th century, examining the false link between vaccines and autism, unethical practices, and their impact on public health.
Discussing the lies propagated by antivaxxers and the harm they cause. Vaccines are effective and critical for public health, countering misinformation and fraudulent science related to vaccine safety.
Vaccines are not associated with autism. This video reviews a comprehensive meta-analysis of studies showing no link between immunizations and autism, addressing common concerns and highlighting the importance of…

@jakescottMD I can’t believe people are still having this debate in 2025. This shit was debunked like ten years ago. The “scientist” who did the study and make the claim outright admitted later on that the whole thing was a sham and was stripped of his license

The whole vaccine autism myth started in 1998 from a scientist who was eventually accused of fraud by the medical community. The mercury link theory formed the year after, then subsequently decried after another 5
@SueWilliam6597 @yashar also that lovely fake paper regarding vaccines and autism did the world a lot of good right? i do know a few things about how research should NOT be done https://t.co/QbKeE2zFMu
For example by undermining the self-cleaning capacity by integer scrutinisation, open discussion and eventual retraction of scientific errors, however slow and hampered this process might be. Such as pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21917556/
@manxykitty1968 @Free_as_a_ @OccupyDemocrats They don't have it, because it was a fraudulent study that was pulled from medical journals... my god you lot are hard headed: https://t.co/dIA16dOj8S https://t.co/nIvilRm9TJ
@Free_as_a_ @manxykitty1968 @OccupyDemocrats Here you go... he and his study was proven a fraud and the people included in the study were also disgraced by the medical community: https://t.co/dIA16dOj8S https://t.co/SNwgCOIJZ0
@stevinsaga @KagensNews @Cancelcloco what's been proven is that Wakefield kick started your first exposition bias and got you good.
https://t.co/0dkzBGMwhs
@thesadnihilist He hasn’t done any research at all. He blatantly lies about the link between vaccines and autism, radio waves and brain cancer, about thimerosal and ethyl-mercury and so much else. I’ve done the research for you: https://t.co/zuZMpjMS4t

You dont believe in coincidence but completely misinterpret correlation for causation
@SeanLNelson1 @YahooNews It was fraudulent. Its been proven fraudulent. Therefore, it cannot be slander.
https://t.co/5w8pfvZuBq
Of course we have cases, no vaccine offers 100% protection against anything. It does have 90% protection against death.
Oh. Quack quack quack vitamin c quack quack
About time @Facebook
The alleged autism-vaccine connection of 1998 was perhaps the most damaging medical hoax of the last 100 yrs.
After 10 years of controversy & investigation, Dr. Wakefield was found guilty of ethical, medical, & scientific misconduct https://t.co/ZS8dkTyPno https://t.co/WahKHhZGy0
